Port Vale have strengthened their midfield options by signing Leicester City's Brandon Cover on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old Jamaica international arrives at Vale Park for the 2024/25 Sky Bet League Two campaign.

Cover has been part of the Leicester City Academy since the age of seven and made his senior debut for the Foxes in an FA Cup victory over Birmingham City in January 2024. His arrival provides fresh energy to a Port Vale side currently sitting 22nd in the table with five points from six matches. The team's recent form shows one win, two draws, and two losses from their last five outings.

The club will hope Cover can help improve a record of three goals scored and seven conceded so far this term. His first opportunity to feature could come soon, with Vale's next fixture an away trip to face fifth-placed Walsall. Supporters can view the full upcoming schedule on the club's fixtures page and check the latest standings.

This move represents a significant step in Cover's development, offering him regular senior football in a competitive environment. Port Vale return to action on Saturday 31 August with a home match against Doncaster Rovers at Vale Park.
